“I wanted to create a very close proximity to landscape and nature. I had the idea that if you made it very earthbound, if you made Elizabeth´s surroundings very earthbound, then her aspirations for romantic love would be all the more heroic. If she´s got her feet in the mud then the reaching for the stars would be more heroic.”

“One of the problems with the book, for me, is that Lizzie falls in love with Darcy when she realises how much money he’s got, when she sees the pad. I always thought that that wasn’t quite good enough. So the sculptures made me think that we could bring something more sensual to that, and that the house could give Elizabeth a deeper understanding of who Darcy is in terms of the culture. Elizabeth’s also saying, I could be the mistress of all of this. So it’s a constant going back and forth between script and location, and also casting.”
